Better piccie of booth.....Not my final one but a work in progress.
I don't have photoshop, just a basic reduce and crop program,I wouldn't be able to run it if I did have one,I'm soooo not a techie...
Tent weights are there but hidden. I didn't put the displays or jewellery in yet but will in later piccies. I'll try waiting until later this eve before sun down and see if I can get a better piccie.

Yeah the non local academics are getting paid for their services by the artists jury fees. People come to see art yes, but they also want something they can buy. Traveling art exhibitions make money for the promoters, not for the artists. They need to figure out what the format is, traveling art exhibit or show and is SALES!
Artists can't afford to pay for supplies, piccies, jury fees , booth fees and travel expenses and are being duped into thinking they're doing an art show and sale, when in reality it's a art exhibit that profits the promoters....
Artists are dropping out of shows due to this...
I know we need standards or we will be competing against close pin reindeer and sock monkeys, knitted toilet paper coseys... and buy/sell( which we already are).
Too cerbral to sell is a luxury most of us can't afford...
Here's a juried picture preview on white background. The photographer says everyone is asking for white backgrounds for their juried piccies.
I have one against a darker background ,that I did but the resolution isn't as good. Having professional piccies done.
What photographer gave you that information?
White blinds the jurors and prevents them from seeing the detail in your work in the short time they have. And if you have a white background and the artist following you has a proper background, the jurors are blinded by your images and their eyes can't adjust to see the next set of images. Two artists are then put at a disadvantage because of the white background.
This is definitely true for projection juries and if they are using monitors, it slows them down (for the wrong reasons) waiting for their eyes to adjust.
To critique your images, your darker background isn't good either. The uneven background is a distraction.

How's this one
I think you'll like this better.
Your color information is missing on the picture you uploaded and it looks kind of dull. It needs more life.

I played with the colour a bit too, I just hit the "hue saturation" button my my adobe photo deluxe and it made it pop more. This is a test photo so I will ask if he will bump up the colour a bit more.
I took his photo, bumped up the "hue saturation" a bit and hit sharpen. Just to see what it will look like. I tried a lit of contrast but it made it too "hot" bright looking... so I left the brightness and contrast alone.
The photographer reshot it on a dark background,emailed it to me,I just tweaked the later piccie with a bit more contrast..
